The 34th Anniversary of Evanston’s Garden Walk is scheduled for Sunday, June 23th, 2024

Join Us

Please join us, rain or shine, for a walk through some of the most creative, beautiful, and personal gardens Evanston has to offer. Most gardens are accessible, although steep inclines and steps do occur in some. Maps are provided.
